Kamala Harris demands delay in Kavanaugh confirmation

August 23, 2018

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., told MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on Wednesday that she did not support the Senate holding a nomination hearing for Kavanaugh, because Cohen had implicated the president in a crime and the Supreme Court could possibly weigh in on the case.

“As it relates to the Kavanaugh nomination and the hearings that are scheduled to happen in just two weeks, I would suggest that an unindicted co-conspirator to a crime should not be in the business of having the ability to appoint someone to a lifetime position on the highest court in our land, a court which, invariably, would hear the matters that are the subject of this very discussion,” she said.
